Background Job Hanged but no work process assigned

Hi,
Background job has hanged When i see in SM37. But no work process assigned to this job. All work process are waiting status.
What could be the reason. What is the resolution process.
Thanks,
Dayakar

How did you come to a conclusion that the bg job is hangend.
What is the status of the job. ? I guess Job defined, but not yet eligible to run even if the start condition has been fulfilled so it should be in Scheduled status.

Background Job hangs!

Hello Friends,
I am encountering a problem with background jobs which has driven me crazy.
The background job hangs and when I try to debug it using the JDBG command the results are surprising.
When the program control reaches a particular PERFROM statement, then no matter what command I give (F5, F6 or if I double click on any of the variables) it hangs. When I press F5, it should atleast go in to the corresponding FORM, and hang during some processing or it should go into an infinite loop but this is not the case. The system hangs even when I press F5 on the PERFORM. The FORM routine exists in the program, so that possibility is ruled out.
Actually the job processes records of a custom table, this problem starts with a particular record and if I skip the processing of this record then it happens with almost all the records after this one. Also, this does not happen every time the job is run, but whenever it does, it starts with a particular record.
When the system hangs then even if I try to stop the transaction by right clicking on the task bar then it has no effect, the only way to close the session is by using the 'Windows task manager'.
I tried transaction SM50, but there were no changes on that screen for this particular session indicating that it has hanged.
Please let me know if you require any more information.
Thanks and Regards,
Haseeb.

Hi,

Background job hanging reasons

background job hanging reasons

Could you provide little more detail of the issue you encountering.
One of the reason could be 100% utilization of the CPU, all your background process might being used in parallel.
Check the load in the transaction st03n
To prevent this you may want to use load balancing on various application servers using the transaction smlg.
You may also want to define a flow of the the jobs, like job B should start after job A has completed.
Let us know more details of the environment to allow us to help you better

In background job how commit & rollback work works?

Hello Friends,
My requirement is, to fetch all sales order items based on some condition and load them into one table say OCC1 in job J1. Now the second requirement is to upload the job information J1 with job name, user name, end date in second table say OCC2 in job J2.
My question is if there is some error I found while processing job 2 I have to rollback entire work which means I have to remove all records those I have inserted in to table OCC1. Can any one suggest me how to handle such problem? Some how I am able to create two job and update the tables. However, what about rollback work? Whether there is an implicit commit work after every background job? I am working on SAP 4.6C version.
Thanks,
Amol C.

I think by using just ROLL BACK work it will not rollback your first job's data.
You need to make some mechanism which can delete the data from OCC1 if the J2 got error.

Background job finishes but error Error While Updating Material into Standard SAP5678

Dear
we run background job which finishes successfully but when we sqw logs it shows
Error While Updating Material into Standard SAP5678
Kindly share the reasons
Regards

This is an ERP Upgrade space and you should consider raising threads in the right space for prompt replies. Next time consider using SAP NetWeaver Administrator space for issues like these. Also you should consider closing your previous thread with the correct answer for future reference.
What I see is a custom job. You should check what the job does and also the trace file of the work process and the consult with the application team or the developer for more information. Unfortunately with that screenshot there is nothing much we can advice you.

Background job finished but flat file not created in the Background

Dear all,
ZHR_CSD program is scheduled to run daily at 00:01:00. This program is generating the flat file in the folder CSD/HR.
when i schedule this program to run immediately it is generating the flat file.
But when i schedule this program in Background it is not generating flat file .
Regards

Hi,
As suggested by Eric, your Z Program is probably using GUI_DOWNLOAD Function Module.
GUI_DOWNLOAD or any other GUI function modules (FM) will only run in foreground, not in Background.
Ask your developer to code that Z Program with OPEN DATASET logic, if its possible.
The Reverse situation is well described in [this thread|Background Job assigment with variant in SM37 , for Textfile uploading], please refer it to get some relative information for the same.

Configure background job for collective outbound delivery processing

Hello Gurus,
I want to Create a background job to be executed during off-peak hours for collective outbound delivery processing. will you please give me step-by-step configuration ?
thanks very much!

To set up a batch job for delivery creation use SM36 T-code.
Input batch job name say - ZSD_CREATE_DELY_SALES_ORG
Select class = C or B.
Set up by / created by = BATCHADMIN or your id
Program Name = WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE
Varient = (as per your requirement - say for a particular sales area and plant)
Click on "Check" icon and "Save".
Go to the main page, select icon "Schedule a Batch job".
Give detils like daily, weekly or periodic or Immediate.
Enter date and time accordingly. Save it.
Same thing applies for Invoice creation batch job.
Use program name:RSBDCSUB
All other steps remain the same.
Hope this will help you out !

Hi Ameer,
Add the following condition for running the prgram in Background.
*****To upload file*********
IF sy-batch = 'X'. "-----> If backgroung execution option is selected.
OPEN DATASET p_filename FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
WHILE sy-subrc = 0.
      READ DATASET p_filename INTO wa_struc.
      APPEND wa_struc TO itab_struc.
ENDWHILE.
CLOSE DATASET p_filename .
ENDIF.
*****To download file*********
IF sy-batch = 'X'.
   OPEN DATASET p_filename1 IN TEXT MODE FOR OUTPUT ENCODING DEFAULT.
   IF sy-subrc = 0.
    LOOP AT itab_struc INTO wa_struc.
      TRANSFER wa_struc TO p_filename1.

I recently purchased some scripts and saved them as actions but wont work with assigned function key

i could use some help ....i recently purchased some scripts to help automate things i do with scrapbooking.... i am using cs4 and have vista...i have made actions to make it easy to use the scripts.... i have assigned function keys to make it easy to use the actions... but it doesnt seem to work with the function keys...i can run the actions by pressing that arrow/button on the bottom of the action palette but when i hit the f key nothing happens..when i first got the scripts it did work.... but now it doesnt....i deleted the actions and made them again but still dont work with f keys...what could be the problem and what do you suggest i do...others who have purchased these same actions seem to be able to use them with the f keys.... thanks for any thoughts and suggestions

think i may have solved it myself and passing this dum thing along....on my keyboard is flock...i mustve hit it and the keys were locked...so i hit it and now they work.... oh dear.

Insert Into @temptable hangs but #temptable works

I have a simple temp table declared as a table variable. This is used on nearly 50 deployed databases and works fin. However, on one server, 2008-R2 as are all the others, the Insert statement hangs. If I change to a #temptable the exact same code
works. Is there a configuration setting that would account for this behavior. This is what the code looks like;
On all my other servers this works fine. On one server it would hang until I modified it to use CREATE table #Counts.
declare @Counts table
CountOf varchar(10), StatusID bigint, StatusName varchar(30), TheCount bigint
insert into @Counts
Select
'Files' as CountOf,
sc.StatusID as StatusID,
sc.StatusName as StatusName,
count_big(*) as TheCount
from
dfFiles f with (nolock)
join dfFolders d with (nolock)
on d.folderid = f.folderid
join dfVolumes v with (nolock)
on v.VolumeUID = d.VolumeUID
and v.MachineName = @MachineName
join dfStatusCodes sc with (nolock)
on sc.StatusID = f.StatusID
group by sc.StatusID, sc.StatusName
union all
Select
'Folders' as CountOf,
sc.StatusID as StatusID,
sc.StatusName as StatusName,
count_big(*) as TheCount
from
dfFolders d with (nolock)
join dfVolumes v with (nolock)
on v.VolumeUID = d.VolumeUID
and v.MachineName = @MachineName
join dfStatusCodes sc with (nolock)
on sc.StatusID = d.StatusID
group by sc.StatusID, sc.StatusName

Supposedly, this is a query-plan issue. As you may know the optimizer works from the statistics sampled from the data and from this it makes an estimation of what is the best plan. Since the data profile may be different in different database, the query
plans may be different in different databases.
And of course, the set of avilable indexes may be different in different databases too.
So what has this do with temp table vs. table variables? The presence of a table variable precludes a parallel plan, whereas there is no such restriction with temp tables.
Thus, you need to look at the query plans to see what is going on. Make sure statistics are up to date, and also check that this server has the same indexes as the other server.

What is work process

What is Process ? For SYnchronous and Asynchronous updates where do data store temporarly ? and for local update also?
Regards,
Prasad

hi,
work process
Work processes execute the individual dialog steps in R/3 applications. The next two sections describe firstly the structure of a work process, and secondly the different types of work process in the R/3 System.
Types of Work Process
Dialog Work Process
Dialog work processes deal with requests from an active user to execute dialog steps.
Update Work Process
Update work processes execute database update requests. Update requests are part of an SAP LUW that bundle the database operations resulting from the dialog in a database LUW for processing in the background.
Background Work Process
Background work processes process programs that can be executed without user interaction (background jobs).
Enqueue Work Process
The enqueue work process administers a lock table in the shared memory area. The lock table contains the logical database locks for the R/3 System and is an important part of the SAP LUW concept. In an R/3 System, you may only have one lock table. You may therefore also only have one application server with enqueue work processes.
Spool Work Process
The spool work process passes sequential datasets to a printer or to optical archiving. Each application server may contain only one spool work process.
The services offered by an application server are determined by the types of its work processes. One application server may, of course, have more than one function. For example, it may be both a dialog server and the enqueue server, if it has several dialog work processes and an enqueue work process.
You can use the system administration functions to switch a work process between dialog and background modes while the system is still running. This allows you, for example, to switch an R/3 System between day and night operation, where you have more dialog than background work processes during the day, and the other way around during the night.
hope it will help u

Force FM execution on batch job work process

Hi!
Is it possible to asynchronously start FM execution on batch job work process?
Additions:
CALL FUNCTION func STARTING NEW TASK taskname.
CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK.
starts FM execution just on another dialog process.
Context of requirement:
There is a program that may be logically splitted into two parts:
- dialog part where data is collected from user input
- BAPI call with a tons of parameters(structures, internal tables) formed on user input
So the problem - system dump by timeout during BAPI execution.
The only solution is to execute BAPI functionality on work process without timeout limitations - batch job work process.
There may be two approaches:
- pass parameters to report and schedule its execution in background job. But here arise question how to pass these dynamic parameters? SAP memory doesn't available for background job work process and "SUBMIT WITH FREE SELECTIONS texpr" seems to be intended for LDB or anyway not for such purposes.
- force FM execution on background job work process - so how if it possible?
Appreciate your suggestions.
Regards,
Maxim.

Trigger substitution rule for a background job

Hi all,
I ve written a subroutine in Substitution rules for FI in GGB1 tcode for F110 transaction to replace the section code (bseg-secco) while posting a fi document.
but the substitution rule is not getting triggered as F110 runs a background job to post the document...
The substitution is active and the activation level is active all the time.
Could u please suggest how to get it triggered for a background job...

Measuring External Processes
Use
The runtime analysis allows you to switch into work processes that are already running and to measure the runtime of dialogs running in them as though they were running in the current session. You can have up to ten external sessions, which may be of any type for example, dialog, update, or spool. This runtime analysis variant is ideal for monitoring long-running background jobs.
Filename and Directory
If you do not want to use the default filename and directory to store files, you can change them using the profile parameter abap/atrapath. If the profile parameter does not contain an entry at all, an error occurs when you start the runtime analysis.
